Earth has been LOST to an invasion of a robotic alien armada known as the Archivists. There’s only the most fragile of resistances left, and they’ve got a plan to fight back. That plan involves finding you, giving you a big gun, and throwing you into the alien flagship, Mothergunship itself.
In MOTHERGUNSHIP, the focus is on crafting the most elaborate weapons you can imagine in a heavily modular system that feels more like playing with building blocks than anything you’ve seen in other FPS games. Mix and match shotguns and rocket launchers. Make the world’s bounciest laser. Strap 20 barrels to your chain gun. Make a gun that shoots hearts. Or heart shaped patterns. MOTHERGUNSHIP gives you the keys to building the most absurd guns you can imagine and then we step back and let you go to town.
But that’s just where the game starts--MOTHERGUNSHIP’s random levels compositing, light hearted campaign, challenging end-game missions, and endless/sandbox modes will keep you busy for weeks. It’s the kind of game you can pick up and play for ten minutes or ten hours, depending on what kind of mood your in, so long as that mood is “dodge a lot of stuff while firing really silly weapons”.
With the screen littered with bullets and enemies, performance is a big deal. With GeForce GTX 10 series GPUS, you’ll get solid, smooth, and consistent FPS in even the most intense battles.
With a positive user score on Steam and a 74 Metacritic, players and reviewers alike are enjoying Mothergunship.
Gamespot gave Mothergunship an 8 out of 10 and said:
“When Mothergunship is firing on all cylinders, it's a satisfying and thrilling shooter where it really counts. With an incredibly fun and never uninteresting gun-crafting mechanic, it certainly goes a long way with its clever hook and an endless flow of enemies to gun down.”
Destructoid gave Mothergunship a 7.5 out of 10
“Oh and believe me, this game is fast. Fans of '90s first-person shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament will feel right at home with Mothergunship. “
MOTHERGUNSHIP is available now on Steam and the Humble Store.
